I'll be the first to say PES 2016 isn't a perfect game. But even with its flaws, you must also accept that there are other people - including myself - who still enjoy playing it. You may not necessarily agree with certain views but you should at least be able to respect them.

Obviously, there's a lot of room for improvement. But like everyone here, I want to see as many areas as possible worked on for PES 2017. From goalkeepers to referees, from DLC to in-game loading times, there's lots to be done.

i know everyone is already talking about PES 2017 - but EURO is starting in a few days and as PES 2016 is the official game we should expect a squad update rather now than after the beginning of the tournament...

to be honest I don't expect too much at the moment and hope that KONAMI will at least keep their promise concerning up-to-date squads (& stats) for pes 2017 as they've recently announced.

I'm still got my eyes on the update! Though it seems that it'll only include updated kits - there won't be a Euros squad update.

From what I gather, there'll be a new system in place for PES 2017 that will prevent things like this (and the delayed release of this year's DP1) from happening.

The fact we are getting weekly updates next year, for both online and offline play, makes me think that we can trust them with this.

But you are right, it's really tough to take. Although I don't mind updating the squads myself, I know not everyone can be bothered, especially with the likes of Albania, Romania and other sides who have very few in-game players in PES 2016.

They can get the squads sorted, but based on previous updates there's like a month turnaround. So by the time the squads are announced it's too late for them. Thankfully be sorted next year but how did they end up with a system where it's takes a month longer to push out a database than it does for graphics?
All said and done it's a poor use of an official license.
